Mark, I assume you fixed the undefined error you were getting for U ie: S U="^" or use D ^XUP to set up all the "common" variables like U,DUZ,DTIME,IO etc.
Alternately, you could use SET $P(^HLCS(869.3,0),"^",1,2)="HL COMMUNICATION SERVER PARAMETERS^869.3" Are you having any other problems with HL-7 files/globals? FileMan still sees it as a valid FileMan File, MUMPS is just acting as the storage subsystem fo the FileMan Files. In theory you could write a version of FileMan which was written in some other language like C++ or COBOL. It would have to provide VA FileMan the same serves that MUMPS does, but it could work.
